Yep, I like to "| cut -d' ' -fx" and other "line.split(' ')" or whatever.
I think that the break of typographical rules is intentional to allow such
simplistic low-level stream handling through pipes or scripts. I'd prefer
that the format is not changed. Maybe a comment could be added to explain
the reason behind it.
